When I used the w3c standards validator to check if my page conformed, I was presented with these 2 errors. Which, I honestly can't work out. Why? If anyone has an answer I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me.
Validation Output: 2 Errors
1. Line 3, Column 0: character "<" invalid: only delimiter ">", delimiter "[", system identifier, "CDATA", "NDATA", "SDATA" and parameter separators allowed.
<html>
✉
2. Line 3, Column 0: cannot continue because of previous errors.

<title>Nerida's Everything Is Web Page ~ Module 3 Task for Net 11 </title>

HTML-making a webpage tutotials
Now this I find much more interesting and engaging than "chat".
For Module 3 we were asked to go to PageTutor.com and complete 26 lessons on the basics of html hand-coding & create a webpage whilst following the tutorial. To have a peek at my end result go to Nerida's Everything Is webpage
I used the lessons and just modified the outcomes by using some of my own photos and words. I found this website really easy to learn from and it was great to be able to have a quick refresher in the basics. I decided to just spend one night on this task and leave it at that-because as usual I'm lagging again :-(
This is a screen shot of part of my webpage...
I just completed Ned 11 last SP, in which we had to produce a complete and fully functional website in 12wks(I was a complete newbie) but happy to say I was very pleased with what I learnt and achieved in that time, and the fact that I managed to come out with a distinction. So I had all ready tried my hand at coding (I really enjoy it) can be very frustrating and challenging at times,but webpage design is the main reason I decided to get a degree in Internet Studies. A site I found very helpful when completing that unit was w3schools.com for html & for examples of CSS.
This is something new I learnt ~ that if you enclose a text picture such as the one above in <pre> </pre> tags it prevents the browsers from collapsing the picture into a big pile of golboldy gook.
Mother duties call- so I will attempt to return later to continue my reflections on html and post the results of the validation test of my webpage :)

ICQ Chat Task
First of all, I did not have Icq, have used MSN in the past briefly(didn't really hook me- could be the dial-up). So I downloaded and installed
ICQ didn't find this difficult.
Very unimpressed by the fact that icq took over my homepage by default though (How Rude is that?)
I already had a google account set up so that was one less thing I needed to do, so I checked the webct board and found a discussion stating that a group of students were hooking up for a chat at 7pm Sunday nights. So on January 25th I logged online and sent a message to Tess, who kindly added me to the list so I could join the group discussion.(thanks Tess & everyone else involved in the chat that night).
The chat moved fast and was quite interesting- I lagged a little as I only have a dial-up connection at the moment(hopefully I will have my satellite broadband installed in about 3 weeks). One thing I did notice is- that with icq the lag was shorter and more manageable, when I have tried to chat on MSN I lagged behind that much that it really was pointless to even bother(not to mention frustrating) using it as a method of communication and I found myself just using my mobile and texting instead.
I'm not a very chatty person and I really don't have much sparetime, even if I was. That said, I can totally understand why many people do use chat rooms as a way to communicate; it doesn't cost you any extra money, you can hold multiple conversations at once & you can still be working on your computer (multi-task plus).
When I finally get broadband I will try out msn & icq to chat with friends in otherplaces see if its more satisfying then- but for now it still hasn't hooked me...

More email Tasks....
Work managed to interfere with my good intentions to get all the Module 2 tasks recorded onto this Blog a few days ago, anyway back at home again, so here we go.
OK, as I have mentioned before I am not a big user of email, but I explored all the different options. As far as using the cc & bcc and reply all functions goes, I have never had to use these before and until now wasn't really sure what the cc and bcc stood for, now I do and I still really don't foresee myself having any use for these functions in the near future, at least I know what the do now in case I do though.
The next ? was; In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened?
If you keep your text attachments in either word or pdf format then everyone seems able to open them, myself included. For photos I usually alter there size, etc in photoshop to ensure a quick download for receivers (just in case, they have dial-up like me) which can sometimes take 30min to load a large unmodified photo, I really just don't have the time to wait.
As far as filters or rules that I have set up... Also very basic. NO SPAM!!
I had never bothered with setting up folders before now so thought I would give that ago. I now have a separate folder for friends/family & official mail. This I like & will keep and also probably add more folders in the future. After reading some of the posting on our Uni discussion board I realized the extent to which email plays in some peoples lives (for work/personal) or both. Personally I just don't have that much need for it and only check them 1-2 times a week, I can't even imagine having multiple accounts and having to read and reply to hundreds in a week, urhhh!!
Much rather be drawing or painting :)
The list task I didn't do as I have already had experience with this quite recently and it is not for me, personally I did not appreciate and inbox full of sometimes (most-time) unrelated posts to sift through, so I unsubscribed. I do however receive monthly newsletters from several different organizations and company's that I look forward to and enjoy.

A pic to cheer up the page.
This is my dog TANK. He likes Australian made, loves the left over peanut butter (has to be Kraft though). It is Australia Day after all...
Communicating by Email
To be honest I am not a big user of email, preferring to text as it is more reliable for my friends and I as far as getting a quick answer etc. I do utilize email for sending photos and I really like the way forms etc can be sent to you instantly for applications and such. I really don't send or receive enough emails to worry about having everything organized but have tried out alot of the suggested options and quite like having a few folders set up to separate official and friend/family emails, so have learnt something useful there.
We were asked to find what information about a users email, the origin of the message, the path it took, could be found in an email message.
The information below can be found for each email you receive. This is the info for a message sent to me from curtin uni for this unit. As you can see it contains the the info of where the message came from its destination (my email provider) what filters etc it went to, and the date and time, subject etc. Useful if you want to be sure exactly where a message came from before opening any attachments.

Traceroute
Ok! This task required us to trace the route from a chosen website such as
http://centralops.net/com/
or http://network-tools.com/ to curtin.edu.au and record the amount of hops taken, etc. Went to centralops first and didn't have much success, kept getting to hop 17 then 18-21 says "timed out" then "trace aborted". Switched sites to network-tools- trace gets to 17, then 18-20 show * * * only then hop 21 shows the IP address of Curtin which is 134.7.179.53. Went back to centralops, I couldn't get a route without any * * * tried many times and with different browsers. Has this got anything to do with the fact that I am using dial-up? Anyway, pasted below is my final attempt- total of 21 hops if you count the * hops, at an average of 253 ms.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
These days FTP is used mainly for transferring, maintaining or changing websites. I had not used FTP until this task. After reading the discussion postings on this task I was feeling abit intimidated as problems seemed to be experienced by other students. I downloaded FileZilla, and then read the Quick Introduction to FTP before attempting the task, which was recall curtin.edu.au. Anyway, long story short- typed in the URL, connected, found the required read me file, downloaded, opened and found the answer to the ? which is "CAPITALIZATION" matters. That went alot smoother than expected, cool. Decided I'll keep FileZilla for latter applications to do with other units or for my personal use.

Playin' Catch-up ! Todays the day!
Ok! totally ignored my tip for "little-alot rather than lots-later" Going for lots later this week. Today's catch-up day.
TELNET over to towel.blinkenlights.nl
Patience plus! This was a really good example of what can be achieved with simple text, go star wars! My 15 yr old son kindly pointed out that, thats what computer animation looked like when I was a kid, Not quite true but pac man & space invaders really kicked ...! :)
